THE INSIDER
News and gossip from the Guru
We're live from Tripod Tower! Frozen to the icy tundra of New England!
Home of the NFL champion Patriots! Just look out the window. That would
be us waving the big foam rubber "We're number one" hand. But all
mandatory rah-rah aside, we're more PlayStation than SportsCenter.
The closest we ever come to contact sports is changing lanes on rt. 95
on our way to work. But still, this was the BIG GAME. So we did our best.
Pete went to a wild game day party that included a special appearance
by a mysterious figure known only as "Hennessy." Todd tried to block it
all out by renting the DVD of Goonies, but was swarmed by marauding
(not to mention shirtless) merrymakers when he went to return the disc
after the game. That's OK. I guess we'll just have to adjust to being
Imperial Rulers of the Football Universe. Meanwhile, have fun checking
out some Tripod sites built by real sports fans.

It seems like everyone is getting into Flash animation. No wonder.
It's pretty easy to learn and you don't have to be a Fine Artiste to
have fun. But while squiggles and goofy sound effects work at first,
you'll eventually want to create a character. And then make that
character walk. To stroll, stumble, and run in style, check out this
Flashy tutorial from our cartoon friends at Webmonkey.

MEMBERSHIP QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Get the inside dirt on some of the questions most frequently fielded
by our dedicated membership department!
Q: What is file sharing?
File Sharing is when you use your Tripod Plus account to store
images, sound files, etc., and then post or link to those files from
other sites. It's a great way to promote your homepage, post images on
auction sites, link to MP3s, and other cool sharing-type maneuvers.
But it's only possible with Tripod Plus.
